The Wizards play the Utah Jazz for the first time this year, and will play them again later this month at the Verizon Center. The Jazz just came off a tough road trip where they went 2-2; losing the last two games to Milwaukee and Oklahoma City. Both Center Mehmet Okur (back) and forward Andrei Kirilenko (calf) are questionable for this game.
This is an open thread, so everyone chime in.
UPDATE: According to Wizards Insider, Shaun Livingston will start in place of Randy Foye.... Interesting.
GO WIZARDS!
